Green & Co. report on cotton futures saws:
There was comparatively a light deal in cotton
contracts to-day, and an easier tone throughout.
Liverpool was tame and disappointing, and crop
accounts on the whole had better look, which
was continued. The absence of buying orders
left the market barren of supporting elements.
The local short interest also appeared to have
about covere on yesterdays furry, and were
selling aga1o some extent, with more or less
offering on southern account. Still, on the
whole, the pressure was not severe, and 50b1
points loss on the price was in some cases par
TALLY recovered with a faint showing of stead-
ness for near and an easy tone on late months
AT the close spot business was quite full

CHICAGO. Aug 23.-The cold wave which has
spread over 4 large area OF territory induced II
decidedly bullish feeling at the opening on
Change to-day. Corn started re better for
September at 411Rc, sold back to 4lAc and then
up TO 4l5Ac within the first hour. Liberal pur-
chases were made during the bulge by several
large operators when the cold weather talk be-
gan to subside, and no support being received
from outside orders or the local scalping crowd,
prices began to go down and September fell to
4lIkc but rallied at the close to 41LlG14136c.
Wheat fell in sympathetic strength with corn,
aud September started at 6sl9G1 G93sc nc better
than yesterdays closc and then reacted TO $685..
Trading was very duh throughout the entire
day and the market held steady between 69sA0l
Gg3sc, closing at 601gc for September Oats
were rather quiet and dull. No important
changes occurred Near futures were q trihe
heavy while deferred deliveries were N0Mc
better Only moderate trade was reported in
provisions, but the feeling was stronger, eSpe-
cialy during the early part Of the day. Opera
tors watched the course of the corn market
close and are governed by il TO some extent in
making speculative trades In provisions early
there was little more inclination 10 purchase
while offerings were somewhat limited. Conse-
quently slightly advanced prices were obtained
The latter inquiry slackened considerably while
there was little more disposition manifested
10 sell and on easier feeling prevailed 10 the
close Though the decline in prices was slight
trading was still confined almost exclusively to
contracts for September October and January
deliveries September lard opened at sc ma
